How to refresh tab bar content upon reopening the app from home screen? (iOS / Xcode)

for all of my view controller.m I have the majority of my code in:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated

So, each time I switch between tab bars all of the info in each view refreshes. (which is good!) Although, when I open the app from the home screen the tab won't update...I have to switch to another tab and back again to get it to load.

Any solutions?

You need to sign up for a notifications to handle it. Register each tab for the notification and a method to handle it. Then just perform your viewDidAppear. It works like a charm.

-(void)viewDidLoad {

   [super viewDidLoad];

   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                                 selector:@selector(becomeActive:)
                                                     name:UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification
                                                   object:nil];
}

-(void)becomeActive:(NSNotification *)notification {
    // only respond if the selected tab is our current tab
    if (self.tabBarController.selectedIndex == 0) { // Tab 1 is 0 index, Tab 2 is 1, etc 
        [self viewDidAppear:YES];
    }

}

Maybe you can invoke all your refreshing code in 

(void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
}

this method is in your AppDelegate.

Try putting this in the view controller's m file:

- (IBAction)done:(id)sender {
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
